Fintech Startup Internship Application

Join Our Mission to Transform Financial Services

At our fintech startup, we're building the next generation of payment infrastructure that makes financial services accessible to everyone. We're looking for talented, curious interns who want to be part of a team that's revolutionising how money moves around the world.

Why This Internship Matters

Financial inclusion isn't just a buzzword for us—it's our core mission. Every day, we work on solutions that help underserved communities access banking services, enable small businesses to accept digital payments, and build regulatory-compliant systems that protect consumers while fostering innovation.

As an intern with our team, you'll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge payment technologies, API integrations, regulatory frameworks, and real-world problem-solving that directly impacts people's lives. This isn't about fetching coffee or filing paperwork—you'll be contributing to actual products used by thousands of users.

What You'll Learn and Do

Our internship programme immerses you in the fast-paced world of fintech. Depending on your role and interests, you might work on:

• Payment Systems Integration: Connect with payment rails like card networks, ACH, real-time payments, or emerging blockchain-based systems
• API Development & Integration: Build and integrate RESTful APIs that power our platform and connect with partner services
• Regulatory Technology (RegTech): Help implement compliance frameworks for KYC, AML, PCI-DSS, and other financial regulations
• Financial Product Development: Contribute to products that expand access to credit, savings, and payment services for underserved populations
• Data Analysis & Insights: Use transaction data to uncover patterns, improve fraud detection, and enhance user experience

You'll work alongside experienced engineers, product managers, and compliance specialists who are genuinely invested in your growth. Many of our full-time team members started as interns and grew with us.

Who Thrives in Our Environment

We're looking for candidates who bring technical skills, intellectual curiosity, and genuine passion for financial inclusion. You don't need to be an expert in everything—we value learning agility and the drive to tackle unfamiliar challenges.

The ideal candidate has some foundation in programming, understands API concepts, has explored payment technologies (even through personal projects or coursework), and cares deeply about using technology to solve real social challenges. If you've built apps that integrate with Stripe, studied fintech case studies, contributed to open-source financial tools, or researched how mobile money works in emerging markets, we want to hear from you.

Our Commitment to Your Development

Internships at our company include:

• Structured mentorship with regular 1:1s and code reviews
• Learning budget for courses, conferences, or certifications relevant to your role
• Cross-functional exposure to engineering, product, compliance, and business teams
• Real ownership of projects that ship to production
• Clear pathways to full-time roles for strong performers

We believe that diversity drives innovation, especially in financial technology that serves global populations. We actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, particularly those who bring perspectives from underrepresented communities in fintech.
